A VISIT TO PADDY GALLAGHER
1
Where the Co-Operative Concern Now Buys and Sells.
Dunglow, County Donegal. Ireland
—This is & story of toe grand uphill
fight for self-respecting, economic in-
dependence which is being made by
a bunch of cheery Irishmen In County
Donegal. At the head of this fighting
group is Paddy Gallagher, an organ-
izer and a promoter if there ever was
one. But is a promoter, not of his
own fortunes, but the promoter of
community welfare. This is also the
story of what a godsend a co-operative
organization can be to a community
which has been, in an economic sense,
hard stricken by nature. Nature
seems to have exhausted herself in
the agricultural gifts she showered on
eastern and southern Ireland and to
have reached Dunglow, in County
Donegal, with nothing left in her gift
bag except a few little patches of cold, j
unresponsive soil which she scattered
here and there among the huge out-
cropping rocks of the barren hillsides
rising between the wide stretches of
desolate peet bogs.
Sir i
here could not pay cash for what they
bought. They had to get goods on
credit. Once a farmer got into debt
to these retail dealers he seldom got
free from the big man's clutches.
While he was in this state he was no
better than a slave. He was charged
tremendous prices and had to pay big
interest. I myself have been charged
interest on what I bought on credit !
at the rate of 144 per cent per annum
My father had this sort of interest to
pay while he was bringing up his fam
ily. That is where the three pounds
went that it took me six months to
earn when I started to work.
What Co-Operation Is Doing.
"Rut notwitstanding the smallness
of the holdings, and the poor soil, con
ditions in Dunglow are improving 1
never knew an organization to do so ;
much for a community as the Temple-
crone Co-operative Agricultural soci-
ety is doing for Dunglow. The so-

A Little Democracy.
"We wish no one any ill. We do
not do business that way. We have
simply demanded the right to attend
to our own little affairs. We meet in
our little parliament here to discuss
our business. We have given some
i entertainments which have brought
the people nearer together and given
them a good time. This year we or-
ganized an industrial show in which
we exhibited everything which we pro
duced here, including lace and knit
goods, as well as some of our farm
products. We did this to encourage
others to make these things Now
we are looking around to get some
little local industry started We need
something of the kind badly so that
more money can come into the com
munitv. I,aee making knitting and
work of that kind is important too,
■*for every little helps here We are
♦ iiltng to work when we can.
On the Up-Grade.
"The boys are learning to farm bet-
ter than their fathers farmed. We
"are raising better cows, and pigs and
chickens, and producing hotter eggs,
poultry and meat than we ever did
betore Through our little co-opera-
tive societv we have a steady market
at good prices for all we can raise
We are not rich, for this is not a
rich country, and never can be There
are too many stones and bogs in Don-
egal for that But we are doing our
best, and we are going to reach a
point soon where every man can go
up and down Dunglow and say that
he owes no man anything. Co-opera-
tion has brought ub together, and we
ire all good friends We are not
fighting with each other any more
We are helping each other We are
still doing business on a very small
scale of course We are poor people,
and we must always be that. There
Is no chance for wealth In a five or
six acre farm We raise a little patch
of oats for oatmeal for our family.
Most of us get enough potatoes off
cottages on a barren three-acre ten-
ant holding—a cottage that had the
wolf always at the door. When Paddy
was nine he was put out to work ai
three pounds for six months' work
His father did not do this sort of
thing because he wanted the little
half-starved shaver to work beyond
his strength, but because it was either
work for Paddy or starvation for still
younger and weaker children After
that there was nothing for Paddy but
hard work, and low wages until he
was grown and had started a family
of his own.
But his work had taken him into
other places, into Scotland and Eng
land, and he came back with the real
ization that life in Dungalow was not
what It ought to be. Uneducated,
work-worn, without any outlook of
promise for himself or hts family
something brought Paddy Gallagher
the realization that he and his neigh
bors together might do what each sep-
arately could not do So. with the
assistance of the Irish Agricultural
Organization society, co-operation as
brought to Dungalow
How It Started.
Gallagher, who had been studying
soils and manures, learned that ac-
cording to government analysis the
soil of his section needed certain deti
nite chemical elements. He asked lo-
cal traders If they could give him any
guaranty of analysis of the manures
sold by them. He was Informed that
they never got such a thing, knew
nothing about it and could give no
guaranty He wrote to the agricul-
tural department about It. They re-
ferred him to the Irish Agricultural
Wholesale society. From them he
learned that this society at that time
dealt only with local co-operative
concerns.
So thiB farm boy. with surprising
persistence, gathered together the
small farmers and pointed out to them
the advantages to be gained as to
quality and price by purchasing guar-
anteed manures direct from the co-
operative wholesale society. The re-
sult was that the farmers ordered a
I seeds which come through It are test-
ed and guaranteed as they never were
before. It has lowered the price and
I improved the quality of tea, Indian
meal and sugar In one case, for ex-
ample. where a rival trader was charg-
ing |3.07 for seven stone of flour we
were offering the same flour at $2.25
for the seven stone.
"You may be interested in knowing
about what an average family here
has for an income, where he gets It
and what he has to eat. I have made
out a little statement so you could
; figure that out. To begin with, every
t farmer has his own potatoes and oats.
Resides this, his income is something
like this:
Eggs and poultry, per week, about
| five shillings i $65 per year).
"Butter for about IS or 20 weeks in
summer, one to two shillings i$7 per
year).
"Sale of cattle possibly 12 pounds
each year <960 per year).
"Sale of sheep, one pound ($5 per
year).
"A total of $137 per year.
"Resides this, the women earn a
little something by knitting sweaters
j and making lace. etc.
Marketing Eggs.
"You will notice that eggs are our
j staple product. The average poor
I farm family around here gets each
| year from 12 to 15 pounds out of their i
j eggs, which is generally about half
I of their entire money income. Before
j we took hold, however, egg raising 1
! was not at all profitable. There was
1 no steady market, the farmers did not
1 understand poultry, and no one had
j any ambition to learn anything about
it. They didn't take care of their
eges well and few were sold.
"Previously the local price was two
or three pence less than the price
quoted in the nearest market in Straw-
bane and Derry. Now the prices paid
j are from one to two pence above the j
I prices quoted in these markets. In |
j other words, we have increased the
| value of a dozen eggs from three to
| four pence (six to eight cents). For
! the entire district, this amounts to
I quite a sum. You must remember
also that while we purchased only
one-tenth of the eggs sold in this par-
ish. the fact that we at Dunglow are
paying the prices which we pay has !
made it necessary for every other
buyer in the entire parish to pay the
same price.
Irish Lace and Knitted Goods.
"Our co-operative company looks af-
ter a good many things besides sell-
ing eggs and butter. We are helping
the girls market their lace and knitted
work Two years ago we asked the
government department to send us an
instructor to teach the girls to make
hand-knit sport coats (sweaters).
They sent a man to look It up. He
talked with some of the men here
who were not friendly to this coop-
erative movement Nothing was done.
Our girls wire petting one shilling
six pence (36 cental for knitting a
dozen pairs of socks, using up from
three and a half to four pounds of
wool. These socks were purchased of
the women by an agent of a whole-
sale trader.
The co-operative society decided
they could do better by the girls than
th' ?e buyers. Since they started buy-
ing. the girls get seven shillings six
pence ($1 >7) from the society for
knitting a sweater coat, using only two
pounds of wool and taking only one-
half as long as a dozen pair of socks.
Putting it another way. for the same
amount of wool and the same time
spent in knitting, the girls get 15
si:. lines $". 7" i instead of one shil-
ling six pence i 36 cents). That is, our
society is paying them ten times what
they used to get from the other buy-
ers for their knitting Formerly the
girls who knit lace were bound by a
bargain under which if they sold to
any cne privately they were boycot-
ted The buyer told them unless they
sold him all he would buy nothing.
N'ow we are getting fairly good prices
for the lace, better than they got be-
fore and we of course, permit them to

KNEW WAY OF THE WORLD
Skeptical Jamie Was Not to Be Flat-
tered, at Least at That Par-
ticular Moment.
"In some respects," said a New York
lawyer, "Harry Thaw is as naive-as a
child. Although his money commands
the country's finest legal talent, he al-
ways insists that it is he who directs
his cases. He is skeptical, too, of all
who approach him."
The lawyer laughed.
"Thaw," he continued, "is as skepti-
cal as Ja^mie. Jamie, a village cel-
ebrity somewhat lacking in intellect,
sat on the racecourse fence the day
of the local races, munching awav at a
leg of mutton which he had somehow-
procured and of which he was very
proud.
"A wealthy steel magnate, whose
country house was near the village,
rode by in his fifty-horse power rac-
ing car and, seeing Jamie on the fence,
said:
" Ah, Jamie, are you here already?"
" 'Oh,' retorted Jamie, with a dig-
nified and important air, looking sig-
nificantly at the mutton bone, 'oh,
yes; ye all know a body when he's
got anything.' "
Bankers' Headquarters At Okla. City,
I Oklahoma City will hereafter be the
headquarters of the Oklahoma Bank
; i-rs' Association and the office of the
sei retary w ill be removed from Enid
to this city. This change was decided
■:pon at the meeting of the executive
eommittee of the state association in
! this city last week.
This (hange has been tinder con-
i templation for some time on account
of Oklahoma City being more cen-
! trally located and because of its being
in reality the center of banking busi-
; ness of the state. It has been pointed
out that every banker in the state has
business in this cny at frequent in-
tervals and that it will be of consider-
| able advantage to them to have the
headquarters of the association lo-
cated in the capital city. Secretary
W. B. Harrison v. ill remain as secre-
; tary of the association, but the date of
! removal was not definitely fixed.
! The next state convention of the
Oklahoma Bankers- Association will
] be held in Oklahoma City, for the
same reason.

ment, I am now well and stout
I sent my brother, whom I had not
seen in twenty years, one of my pho-
tographs, and he wrote me that I
looked younger than when he last

For more than 50 years, Cardui has
been relieving women's sufferings, and
building weak women up to healtli

the same results as Cardui. No other
woman's medicine has the long record
of success in treating cases of womau-
